About this Training

The UNC-CH LGBTQ Center offers over 30 Safe Zone trainings per year across campus and in the local community. We meet this demand with the help of Volunteer Facilitators.

Safe Zone Facilitator Training is a four-hour training that covers best practices for facilitating group discussions, presenting information, and dealing with difficult questions and topics. There is no expectation to how many trainings facilitators help with. Some of our facilitators are only available to help with one training a year, while others are involved in 3-4 trainings a semester.

Prerequisites for Facilitator Training:

• Status as current UNC-CH undergraduate/graduate/professional student, postdoc, staff, or faculty
• Completion of Safe Zone training (4-hour foundational training)
• Completion of OR current registration for Safe Zone Gender Identity/Gender Expression training or Safe Zone Transgender and Nonbinary training (2-hour training)
